1. 尊重个人

3. 力求卓越
Wal-Mart 一向以反映这三个基本信念的方式来经营，也期望 Wal-Mart 的供货商在承包、分包和其它业务关系上恪守这些信念。此外，由于 Wal-Mart 供货商的行为可能会影响 Wal-Mart 及其声誉，因此 Wal-Mart 要求其供货商、和供货商的承包商共同遵守这些标准，Wal-Mart 保留对供货商的工厂和供货商之承包商的工厂进行不定期、不先行通知的检查之权力，以确保供货商遵守这些标准：
遵守相关法律及惯例：供货商应遵守其营业所在司法区的所有地方和国家法律规定，以及业界之惯例。若法律规定和业界惯例有冲突时，供货商应该，最起码，遵守其营业所在司法区的法律规定。但是，若业界惯例高于国家法律规定，Wal-Mart会选择那些达到业界惯例的供货商。
Wal-Mart 的供货商应遵照以下的聘雇规定。

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ("Wal-Mart") is successful by adhering to three basic beliefs since its founding in 1962:
1. Respect for the Individual
2. Service to our Customers
3. Strive for Excellence
Wal-Mart strives to conduct its business in a manner that reflects these three basic beliefs and expects its suppliers to adhere to these beliefs in their contracting, subcontracting, and other business relationships. Additionally, because the conduct of Wal-Mart’s suppliers can be attributed to Wal-Mart and its reputation, Wal-Mart requires its suppliers, and their contractors, to meet the following standards, and reserves the right to make periodic, unannounced inspections of suppliers’ facilities and the facilities of suppliers’ contractors to ensure suppliers’ compliance with these standards:
COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND PRACTICES: Suppliers shall comply with all local and national laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which the suppliers are doing business as well as the practices of their industry. Should the legal requirements and practices of the industry conflict, suppliers must, at a minimum, be in compliance with the legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which they are operating. If, however, the industry practices exceed the country's legal requirements, Wal-Mart will favor suppliers who meet such industry practices.
Wal-Mart expects its suppliers to comply with the following conditions of employment.
• : Suppliers shall fairly compensate their employees by providing wages and benefits which are in compliance with
the local and national laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which the suppliers are doing business, or which are consistent with the prevailing local standards in the countries, if the prevailing local standards are higher.
• laws of the jurisdictions in which the suppliers are doing business. Suppliers’ employees shall not work more than 72 hours per 6 days or work more than a maximum total working hours of 14 hours per calendar day (measured midnight to midnight). Supplier’s factories should be working toward achieving a 60-hour workweek. Wal-Mart will not use suppliers who, on a regularly scheduled basis, require employees to work in excess of the statutory requirements without proper compensation as required by applicable law. Employees should be permitted reasonable days off (at least one day off for every seven-day period) and leave privileges.
•
• subcontractors who use child labor. No person shall be employed at an age younger than the legal minimum age for working in any specific jurisdiction. In no event shall suppliers or their subcontractors employ workers less than 14 years of age.
• of personal characteristics or beliefs. Wal-Mart favors suppliers who do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and other similar factors.
• whether to associate or not to associate with any group, as long as such groups are legal in their own country. Suppliers must not interfere with, obstruct or prevent such legitimate activities.
• Only workers with a legal right to work shall be employed or used by a supplier. All
workers’ legal status, must be validated by the Supplier by reviewing original documentation (not photocopies) before they are allowed to commence work. Procedures which demonstrate compliance with these validations must be implemented. Suppliers must regularly audit employment agencies from whom they obtain workers to monitor compliance with this policy.
WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT: Factories producing merchandise to be sold by Wal-Mart shall provide adequate medical facilities and ensure that all production and manufacturing processes are carried out in conditions that have proper and adequate considerations for the health and safety of those involved. Wal-Mart will not do business with any supplier that provides an unhealthy or hazardous work environment or which utilizes mental or physical disciplinary practices.
• Suppliers will maintain adequate security at all production and warehousing facilities and implement supply chain
security procedures designed to prevent the introduction of non-manifested cargo into outbound shipments (e.g. drugs,
explosives bio- hazards and/or other contraband). Additionally, each production and warehousing facility must have written security procedures and maintain documented proof of the adequate controls implemented to guard against introduction of non-manifested cargo.
CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: We encourage suppliers to reduce excess packaging and to use recycled and non-toxic materials.
RIGHT OF INSPECTION: Wal-Mart or a third party designated by Wal-Mart will take certain actions, such as inspection of production facilities, to implement and monitor these standards.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Suppliers shall not disclose to others and will not use for its own purposes or the purpose of others any trade secrets, confidential information, knowledge, designs, data, skill, or any other information considered by Wal-Mart as “confidential”.
The “Standards for Suppliers” must be posted in a location visible to all employees at all facilities that manufacture products for Wal-Mart. If you know of a violation of these standards by a supplier, factory, or Wal-Mart associate, please call 1-800-WM-ETHIC (1-800-963-8442).
